ANGELIC DEMON
The society has become an hydra, multifaceted
Mortals now exhibit paradoxical identity
The firmament is now a universal mirror
Reflecting contradictory images at dawn
I peeped, I saw an extended metaphor
of different figures, misrepresented like:
- "Ancient devil donning Jesus new garment
- Ailment physicians with infectious hands
- Aid hands now littered with thorny trees
- Builders gathering loose sand as castle
- Gatekeepers aiding & abetting sons of gun
- Hatchers consuming the public eggs
- Harbingers with devoid evangelism
- Market women pregnant of shadows
- Peppery winds from the mouth of kin
- Parasitic parent housing adopted children
- Pen instructors with stone-dead heads
- Planters planting poisonous parasols
- Reservoirs spewing through the loopholes
- Soul saviour serving sour salmon"
Home is now an art gallery veiled by cobwebs
But our brooms are too short to dust them off
So how do we cleanse a dirty soap?
For mortals now exhibit both angel & demon
Killing & saving the world concurrently
